This movie started out really fun. Two star reporters trying to top each other. I really liked the opening scene, where SRK got into the building which has been evacuated because of a bomb thread and is interviewing the guy from the bomb squad. It also had some fun songs to watch.
But about halfway through it gets too serious, and it takes itself too serious. And it gets ridiculously patriotic. It is still watchable, but nothing like the fun first part.

Sliders Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

3. GILLIAN OF SPIRITS
When a bizarre accident separates Quinn from the rest of the Sliders, the only hope for the remaining trio is to put their faith in a troubled young girl with a history of hearing voices--and an ability to communicate with spirits.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. I enjoyed it more then I thought I would. For some reason I was remembering this not to be an as good episode. But it was really good. I liked how they had Quinn as something like a Ghost through-out the whole episode. I do wish we would have been able to have some more time in the world they slid to from anti-technology world. I mean who wouldn't want to spend some time taking in the sites at Nudist World!

My Rating:

4. THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE WEALTHY
In an America in which all land west of the Mississippi is part of the Nation of Texas, Quinn finds himself at the center of some highly unorthodox corporate raiding when a gunfight earns him a reputation for being quick on the draw.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode... but not one of my favorites. I had a hard time with the combination of the old west and corporate business/Stock Marcket.

My Rating:

5. EL SID
When Quinn rescues a beautiful young woman in distress on a world ruled by violence, her homicidal boyfriend swearing vengeance for an imagined slight, follows the sliders through the vortex to a world where San Francisco is a maximum security prison.

My Thoughts:
This episode I enjoyed. I liked the whole prison idea.

My Rating:

6. TIME AGAIN AND WORLD
Wade witnesses a shooting seconds before a slide, but when the vortex lands the travelers in a parallel San Francisco just as the same murder is about to occu r, she intervenes--an action that embroils the quartet in a bizarre plot involving a disgraced federal judge, an underground resistance movement and a United States under martial law.

My Thoughts:
Pretty good episode. An interesting idea... but thought the story was a little on the slow side. I found my attention drifting from the episode to other things.

My Rating:
